Creating pumpinks

The children have really enjoyed looking at the pumpkin. We talked about, the colour of the pumpkin, is it big or small, some of the children tried to pick the pumpkin up and expressed that it was heavy!! The children engaged with the activity; where they were able to create their own pumpkin picture. We used different materials and equipment, such as, paint, marker pens, paint brushes and stamps. Some of the children were able to give meaning to their marks as they were creating their pictures. They were able to tell me, if they had a pumpkin at home, which led on to the conversation of what they dressed up as for Halloween.

Putting our coats on by ourselves!

In Pre-school we have been practising to put our coats on by ourselves, we have been calling this, "the magic way". We have been encouraging the children to lay their coats on the floor and placing their arms through the sleeves of their coats and then to flip their coats over their heads.  The children have been very proud of them selves when they have achieved this! Well done pre-school.
